The main features are:
Lithium battery fieldPVDF is a common positive binder with strong anti-oxidation-reduction ability, good thermal stability and easy dispersion, but it needs to use N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent, which is expensive and has certain environmental pollution. The mechanism of action is mainly the van der Waals force (intermolecular force) plays a bonding role, and some modified PVDF also has a chemical bond between the foil caused by modification 3.
Chemical industryUsed in the manufacture of equipment such as pipes, valves and pumps, it is ideal for handling corrosive media due to its corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
Electronics industryIt is used in batteries and capacitors due to its excellent insulation properties and high temperature resistance.
Aerospace fieldDue to its high strength and dimensional stability, it is an ideal material for the manufacture of lightweight structural parts and gas filters, and can also be made into cross-linked closed-cell foams and increasingly widely used 2.
Architectural fieldFine powder grade PVDF, such as KYNAR500PVDF and HYLAR5000PVDF, can be used in the manufacture of high-end metal coatings, which are used in many famous buildings (such as Twin Peaks Tower, Taipei 101) as well as commercial buildings and residential metal roofing, with extremely high gloss and color stability 4.
Biomedical fieldPVDF films are commonly used in western blotting, where proteins are electrophoretic, and because of their resistance to solvent corrosion, the films used in the assay can be easily stripped and reused to detect other proteins
